A small country kirk with a long history in rural Scottish Borders country.

An important church with Norman and Saxon features, clerestory and medieval carvings.

The village was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ‘Ferlei’ or ‘Fereleia’ which is thought to mean either ‘lea of the ferns’ or ‘the far lea’.

This lovely village church is grade I listed and dates from the beginning of the 14th century, when stone from the demolished Norman church was reused to build the present one, in the Perpendicular style.

All Hallows church is a large and beautiful building dating back at least eight centuries with a list of incumbents that can be traced back at least as far as 1230.

On the outside, a fine medieval church with a broach spire and on the inside, a complete Victorian Gothic interior by GF Bodley with beautifully decorated ceilings throughout the church.

Regarded as one of the finest but least known gems of ecclesiastical architecture in the country, it is a Gothic gem set in a diamond.

St Mary in the Baum, on St Mary's Gate, was founded in 1740 as a chapel of ease to minister to the people living north of the River Roch.

Built around 1850 by architect Joseph Hansom with apse chancel in an unfussy and restrained Victorian gothic style.
